Screensaver Molecule freezes computer. I found my solution. Go into root by $ sudo -i, give password, and then at root# rm /usr/lib/xscreensaver/molecule, and then root# rm /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/molecule.xml, and then remove from the gnome-screensaver # rm /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/molecule. I went and uninstalled the entire package gnome-screensaver and this removed the settings at menu System | Preferences | Screensaver. So had to install the gnome-screensaver package again, and the download did not have those screensavers listed. I used the Synaptic Package Manager listed in menu System, and also did a backup. Here's my references URL http://www.debianadmin.com/simple-package-management-with-synaptic-package-manager-in-ubuntu.html , and the for sbackup URL http://www.ubuntugeek.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html . Mine is fine now, and using another image for screensaver with settings. Thanks to everyone for your help. Karen
